    摘要: Disclosed is a semiconductor manufacturing process, in which a fluorine radical-containing plasma is used to etch a hard mask and a layer therebeneath; and a treatment is carried out using a gas reactive to fluorine radicals for reacting with residual fluorine radicals to form a fluorine-containing compound and remove it. Thus, precipitates formed by the reaction of fluorine radicals and titanium components existing in the hard mask to cause a process defect can be avoided.

    摘要: A dual damascene process is disclosed. A substrate having a base dielectric layer, a lower wiring layer inlaid in the base dielectric layer, and a cap layer capping the lower wiring layer is provided. A dielectric layer is deposited on the cap layer. A silicon oxide layer is deposited on the dielectric layer. A metal hard mask is formed on the silicon oxide layer. A trench opening is etched into the metal hard mask. A partial via feature is etched into the dielectric layer within the trench opening. The trench opening and the partial via feature are etch transferred into the dielectric layer, thereby forming a dual damascene opening, which exposes a portion of the cap layer. A liner removal step is performed to selectively remove the exposed cap layer from the dual damascene opening by employing CF4/NF3 plasma.

    摘要: A dual damascene process starts with providing a substrate having thereon a base layer, a lower copper wiring inlaid into the base layer, and a lower cap layer covering the inlaid lower copper wiring. A dielectric layer is deposited on the lower cap layer. A TEOS-based oxide cap layer is deposited on the dielectric layer. The TEOS-based oxide cap layer has a carbon content lower than 1×1019 atoms/cm3. A metal hard mask is deposited on the TEOS-based oxide cap layer. A trench recess is etched into the metal hard mask and the TEOS-based oxide cap layer. A partial via feature is then etched into the TEOS-based oxide cap layer and the dielectric layer through the trench recess. The trench recess and partial via feature are etch transferred into the underlying dielectric layer, thereby forming a dual damascene opening, which exposes a portion of the lower copper wiring.

    摘要: In one aspect, a first charge pump has serially arranged charge pump stages. Inter-stage nodes between adjacent stages are pumped by a second charge pump. In another aspect, timing of the charge pump stages is controlled by at a command clock signal. The command clock signal and command data are communicated between a integrated circuit with the charge pump and an external circuit.
